As we prepare for the coldest weather we’ve experienced in years, we are pleased to share some truly exciting news to brighten this winter Friday.
We are celebrating a significant investment in the future of Northern Ontario. Minister Quinn has announced the expansion of the Learn and Stay Grant to include medical laboratory programs at Canadore College and Confederation College. This important commitment will help more students train closer to home and strengthen the laboratory workforce that Northern communities rely on every day. This support not only creates new opportunities for students — it reinforces a stronger, more resilient health care system for families across the North.

Together, we remain committed to advancing education, strengthening our health‑care workforce, and supporting the well‑being of Northern communities. We’re honored to be your trusted voice, and we’ll continue pushing forward with your needs at the center of everything we do.
